Remembering Cheetahs
£45/$65
buyrememberingwildlife.com
The fifth Remembering Wildlife book from a series where the title is no accident – if humankind doesn’t take action, we will lose cheetahs and many other species. But you don’t need to be a cheetah super-fan to be moved by this book; buy a copy and support a fragile ecosystem that has been severely affected by Covid-19 and the shutdown of international travel.
BEST FOR Wildlife fans, or anyone keen to support a very worthy conservation cause
A GREAT READ FOR...
Wildlife photography lovers
Do/Photo/
£8.99/$14.95
thedobook.co
This series of pocket guides focuses on practice rather than theory; this new title by US-based photographer Andrew Paynter comprises 10 chapters or practices, including ‘Be Present’, ‘Observe’ and ‘Create’. Do/Photo/ isn’t a photography manual, though; ideally you’ll read it and reflect on it before picking up your camera.
BEST FOR Photographers of all levels will learn something from this intriguing and insightful book
David Bowie Icon
£50/$70
www.accartbooks.com
Is this the definitive anthology of Bowie images? The publisher makes this claim – and with photos by the likes of Terry O’Neill, Justin de Villeneuve, Sukita and many more, it would be hard to disagree. Over 250 photos grace the book’s 356 pages.
